Stuff you sprinkle on food.

I have a few, Sweet Rub from the Hey Grill Hey web sites recipe, use on pork bbq, chops, and burgers. Weber’s Roasted Garlic and Herb for chicken and chops, cand Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened Redfish Seasoning for any time we went some zing.

 

Just tried Lambert’s Sweet Rub-O-Mine BBQ, much like the sweet rub I mentioned above but with less sweet and more salt and pepper.

 

Going to look for the Zatarain’s Creole Catt mentioned.

Do you put that on chicken? Seems offensive to the chicken. It’s like “Man, chicken I like you, but I really wish you were a cow”

OK - I'll admit that I do not put this in my oatmeal.

Or my protein drinks.

But every Meat, Carb & vegetable - it's a hard yes. 

And I eat a metric ton of chicken.

If you put that on everything you eat, sounds like you need to make some tastier stuff. Just sayin ?

I hear ya ~

If you're lucky, perhaps you'll figure out that taste & good health are not connected. 

But you're still young, you have plenty of time to swell that BMI.

Good Luck

Here’s what I can figure out. 
 

My Mom is an excellent cook, and made us very good tasting, healthy meals for years. Any time you cook ‘in’, you are already setting yourself up to cook something likely healthier than eating out. Now, for you, that is not enough. You have a strict diet regime, and I respect that. If you are throwing burger seasoning on your veggies and would prefer that rather than… I don’t know… maybe some garlic and cheese, so be it. But for a lot of people, simply cooking for themselves with a conscience to look for healthy alternatives while cooking, that is plenty. 
 

And swell my BMI? With my activity level and metabolism? Just about impossible. When I get older, yes, things will change and I will have to more aggressively look for healthier options. But I imagine I can do a lot of legwork by simply cutting out things that are just blatantly unhealthy like sugars, soda, etc.

I think health and tasty can play well together.  

[flyfisher]

I use all kinds of stuff.  Sure i could make my own but why bother when there are a lot of good ones pre made already.  

 

I'll have to go check the cabinet though cause i don't know the names for most of them but i do like chicago style steak seasoning

Tajin

red ppper flakes are always a good choice

Montreal steak spice goes on quite a bit of beef, as well as in any ground beef or venison I usually cook. We use quite a bit of garlic powder ( not garlic salt), unless we have fresh garlic in the pantry, which is actually quite often. Other than the usual spices for baking etc, I mainly use pepper. Pretty much every single dinner meal I eat has pepper on it, and often quite a bit. I do love some fresh ground pepper! Can’t even remember the last time I touched a shaker of table salt, we don’t even have one in the house.

Not much of a shaker, more of a pourer...

 

Texas Pete is on more of my food than I care to admit.

 

If I do shake something on food, its probably salt and pepper. The only premixed spice I ever seem to use is Montreal steak seasoning. Thats some good stuff. Steak and eggs with Montreal steak seasoning is a beautiful thing.

 

Going to have to give that Weber seasoning a try @A-Jay

 

You're metric ton of chicken diet sounds a lot like mine.

PSA and fair warning ~ It's addicting . . . .

Also I'll use Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb quite a bit on chicken as well

But I add my own salt because - well I need some.

california style garlic powder

[NYWayfarer]

Slap Ya Mama is my seasoning of choice.

yes, all day long, this ^^^

 

i have a cabinet full of spices, and for most things i mix my own. when i don't, it's montreal steak spice, 80% of the time. 

i am also a pepper fanatic.  i have my course grind black pepper, the medium grind pepper medley,  and the fine grind black pepper from the pugeot.  anything with a red sauce or alot of tomatoes gets a healthy dose of red pepper, cayanne, and chilli powder.

if i eat pizza, it has to have a ridiculous amount of oregano on it, or i'm not happy.

i am not a fan of lots of garlic. i know too many people who think cooking something tasty is when you over use garlic.  when i use garlic, i like fresh garlic, and i use it in a subtle way
